“Egyptian cultural minister Gaber Asfour said the depiction of Jewish slaves as being the builders of the Great Sphinx and Pyramids is inaccurate becuase the monuments are accepted to have been built around 2540 B.C. – 500 years before Abraham, the father of Judaism. ‘This totally contradicts proven historical facts,’ Asfour said.” Asfour also went as far as to say, “It is a Zionist film. It gives a Zionist view of history and contains historical inaccuracies, and that’s why we have decided to ban it.”

Overall, things have gone from bleak to bleaker for Exodus: Gods and Kings. I can’t say that I’m happy about all of what’s happened to the film, since I don’t like actively rooting against a film, but I can’t say I’m sad about it either. I mean, I did support #BoycottExodusMovie because, well, just look at that picture above. It makes no sense. It’s literally ludicrous.
